interception-tools ebuild

Hi!

Please find attached the ebuild for interception-tools-0.6.7. That’s a nice software which allows to rewrite input events — so that vim users for example may map both esc and ctrl to caps. It allows similar things to what xcape could do, but operates on lower levels and as such is compatible with x11, wayland and even ttys.

I’m not sure it can do much on its own though, so I’ll be also submitting an ebuild for its caps2esc plugin.

Any comment on the ebuild is welcome!

Hi,

This has been waiting for a maintainer for quite some time now, and I’d be willing to maintain this if you can point me to a document describing what “maintaining a package” actually implies.

Thanks.

interception-tools 0.6.8 ebuild

Hi,

A new version of interception-tools has come out, and since this has not been accepted yet I figured that would be the best place to propose the ebuild. I’ve also modified it to use the cmake eclass.

I also confirm that I am willing to be the maintainer for this ebuild.

Sorry for abusing this bug, but let me submit an ebuild for another plugin of interception-tool, "dual-function-keys". Among other plugins, this one is the most verastile one.

@hoelbezier: Thanks for sumbitting your ebuild!

If you're willing to maintain new package, you might want to consult Gentoo wiki page on proxy-maintain.
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers/User_Guide.

After doing so, if you're still ready to take responsibility, you would want to complete this package with metadatas, and create pull request on official gentoo mirror linking this bug instead of reinforcing bug report for more responsive review.

Though note that new package that's not dependency of version bump of existing package usually have low priority, so you might have to wait good amount of time before getting reviewed.

Hi,

Having similar wishes for a interception-tools package in repos other than a local overlay, I added it to the GURU repository.

This is basically the version uploaded by @hoelbezier with changes to bring it up to date with what I can read in documentation. I hope that is okay. Not sure whether it helps with this bug.
